1. Introduction

I loved the Canning Station from Sims 3 and have been wanting to recreate it in sims 4 for quite some time. When I saw the poll for the eco Living SP, I knew this theme was not going to win because Laundry!!

9. Requirement -

Outdoor Retreat Required

Optional - Vampire GP for Plasma fruit , Custom plants (If you do not have the pack or the custom plant, the preserve will simply won't appear on the list)

16. Files 
a) icemunmun_Canning_Base - The main mod
b) icemunmun_Canning_Preserves_EA - The Preserves using harvestables included in the game. Requires icemunmun_Canning_Base. This file is required for the preserves to show up in game.
c) icemunmun_Canning_Preserves_Custom - The Preserves using custom harvestables. Requires icemunmun_Canning_Base. This file is required for the preserves to show up in game.
d) icemunmun_Canning_RetailShelves_GTW - Retail shelves. Requires Get to Work EP.
e) icemunmun_Black_Plate - Required for black plates of the Bread and Preserve

If you have even one custom harvestable then you require files a, b and c, e (icemunmun_Canning_Base, icemunmun_Canning_Preserves_EA, icemunmun_Canning_Preserves_Custom, icemunmun_Black_Plate )

If you have NO custom harvestable then you require files a, b and e (icemunmun_Canning_Base, icemunmun_Canning_Preserves_EA, icemunmun_Black_Plate )Note - I have separated the files because it will be easier to update in future

I clicked on the canning station, with 0 skill level. The only Jam was apple and when I unticked the box it still wouldn't let me make jam.

Yes, at Lv. 0 you can only make Apple Jam when your Sim has 6 Apples in inventory or fridge. At Lv. 2 they can make BlackBerry-, Blueberry-, Raspberry- and Strawberry Jam, at Lv. 3 Cherry Jam. What comes after that I don't know at this moment. But what I just know ... you also need the fruits, without also makes no sense, as I think. Have your sim fruits in inventory?
For eating Bread with Jam, you need the jam and a bread in inventory. Then click at the glass with jam and there is an option with: 'Eat with Bread'.

I voted for this too, thanks so much for making it and sharing with us. Ps. When I untick use fresh ingredients I still need the ingredients to make the ea stuff... the custom ones I can make without ingredients. Am I doing something wrong?!

The untick fresh ingredients doesn't work at the moment. Have found this to be game engine restriction for some skills
And as cateyes2201 said, you need different levels for different recipes to unlock! (Look under the spoiler of list of preserves)

Thanks for the Por-BR translation simshout

Hey, if you want to use a different mesh for the canning station, the tuning ID to use is -
icemunmun:CanningStation with id 17375596718405990592

But you have to link back to the download post because many other files are required for the Canning System to work!

Thank you guys

I will get back to the other questions soon! (i haven't finished reading the comments yet )

Wow, awesome! All the more reason why I should go back to playing my Sims 4 because of this, thankyou, thankyou! now my Simmies have a variety of wonderful flavour added to their pallet and possibly their wasteline too.

Icemunmun, you mention that file in your text, but doesn't say where it is. Perhaps it's just in that language pack?

Hi, look at the end of the post under Files(before thanks).The five files included in the downloads are mentioned and explained there along with the combinations required. And I added the black plate later to the downloads as a separate package.
Thank you so much for liking the mod

Ops sorry I'm trying something new here and take the risk of looking like an idiot again. I got on a download frenzy. Some of Leniads recipes mentions Menu Enhance, but that's not compatible with Parenthood apparently. Something else I can do, or even better, do I really need it?
